Any two-player game can be decomposed into a zero-sum component and a cooperative component.
@calcnerd256 Suppose players have utility functions U and V. Let Z = ½U - ½V, C = ½U + ½V. U = C + Z, V = C - Z. Z is the zero-sum part.

@InstanceOfClass so decomposing the game here is to create an alternate basis of utility functions? I like it. -
@InstanceOfClass but what are the semantics of these utility functions? It is not as if we can replace the players with agents who have them

@InstanceOfClass does the solution to Z become the status-quo point for C?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
